Notes

Mods: I do 3 rounds of garter to keep the edge from rolling. Also, I like 10 rows before the thumb gusset. Otherwise the last row of beads hits the heel of my hand funny.

Starting another pair for a KAL 1/4/13:
White with matte blue beads.

Minor error on pair #3. Hot Pink with black beads to match my new coat. I was merrily knitting along on size 6 Zepher needles when the needle tip broke off. I grabbed another pair and kept going. (KP sent me a replacement, btw) … when I was making sure that the dpns that I like to use on the thumb instead of magic loop were the same size, I realized that I’d replaced my 6’s for 5’s. I was wondering why these felt a little snug. Oh well, they’ll be fine.

Made a pair in lt blue with darker blue #5 beads. Gave them to mom for Christmas.

These are so much fun to knit.
On these first ones I’m using size 6 beads as the 5’s are impossible to find. It’s hard but doable. I’ve got size 5/0 on order from beadcaravan for the next pair.
